REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

078 - 080

Chapter 78: Hidden Concerns (2)

"That year, your parents died in a strange state, and you were diagnosed with a mental deficiency when someone else brought you back here. They told us that you will not be able to train battle aura or magic all your life. When I saw you, I felt sad. I know better than anyone about internal strife in our family. Since you don't have your parents as your support, it might be a good thing that you can't practice magic or battle aura. " Shen Feng sighed.

Shen Yanxiao nodded. He understood the meaning behind Shen Feng's words. There were many internal conflicts within the family, especially between Shen Yue and Shen Duan. Without the protection of the parents, they could secretly dispose of him if he had any qualities in him.

Even if Shen Feng had the heart to protect her, she was old. After she died, she no longer had any support while Shen Yue and the rest of the family could do whatever they wanted with her.

Shen Feng's words resolved all the doubts Shen Yanxiao had in her.

Shen Feng exiled and ignored him because he wanted to protect him. He's only safe if he's not on anyone's radar. Shen Qiu's secret treatment for her was definitely due to Shen Feng's influence. Even Shen Siyu's love for her could be partly because of Shen Feng.

After all, he did not look after her. He had probably arranged for Shen Siyu, who did not have the Vermilion Bird Family bloodline, to keep her safe.

Shen Yanxiao's tears flowed in her eyes. The imposing old man had secretly made plans for his future. Without Shen Feng's deliberate actions, he probably wouldn't have lived until then.

Shen Yanxiao had never experienced the love of a family member, and hence, it was difficult for her to express her feelings. She was like a lost animal that had been thrown into a corner to run its own path, but she suddenly realized that someone had always raised her in care.

He understood Shen Feng's worries. The more clear he was about his intentions, the closer he got to him.

He was an idiot and a useless trash who did not resemble Shen Yu. Obviously Shen Feng was trying hard to protect her like that.

For the first time in her life, Shen Yanxiao was speechless. He is not a heartless man. It was just that he had never been treated like a human in his previous life, and he was just a tool to be used by the organization. The co-workers he knew in the organization were just his rivals. He had faced endless mutual deception in his previous life, and it was only in that new life that he felt the warmth of Shen Siyu's care.

"Grandfather." It was the first time Shen Yanxiao had sincerely called Shen Feng.

Even if he was not the true owner of that body, but because he had been given to live, he would then treat it as if he had replaced Shen Yanxiao before.

There were tears in Shen Feng's eyes as he nodded with satisfaction. He stroked his granddaughter's head and then kindly said, "It's been hard for you all along. I'm glad you've recovered and obtained the Vermillion Bird because it means I no longer need to worry about anyone bullying you. Rest assured, no one can oppress you as long as I am alive. " Initially, Shen Feng wanted to let his grandson continue his ordinary and worry-free life. However, it seemed that the heavens had toyed with them and allowed Shen Yanxiao to recover her intelligence. He decided that he would put all his hopes for Shen Yu on the boy.

"Xiaoxiao, now that you've recovered, there are some things I must tell you."

"Grandfather, please express your opinion."

Chapter 79: Hidden Worries (3)

"I'm old, and even if I want to take care of you, I'm afraid I don't have much time left. Even though you have obtained the Vermilion Bird now and your uncle will not dare to provoke you, you still need to know how to protect yourself. The five great noble families may look harmonious on the surface, but our personal relationships are not the best. Our relationship deteriorated when the five mythical beasts were inactive. If you want to inherit the position as the Head of the Family, you must have the skills to take care of yourself. Therefore, I have arranged for you to enroll in the Saint Laurent Academy, and you must study diligently. " Shen Feng frowned. He was still worried about many things in the future. Fortunately, his grandson had recovered his intelligence, and he could already guess what he did not mention specifically.

"But, I don't know a single thing about herbs." Shen Yanxiao was annoyed. He could practice magic and battle aura, but he knew nothing about herbs. His understanding of herbs was limited to how expensive some bottles of low-grade disguise potions were.

"Don't worry. I won't let you try the impossible. " Shen Feng smiled gently and pointed towards the beautiful woman in the painting. "The world knows your mother's beauty, but no one knows that she is also a great advanced herbalist."

"What?" Shen Yanxiao was stunned. He looked at the beautiful woman in the scroll painting as he digested the news he had just heard.

"Your mother's family is very mysterious. When he appeared in Longxuan Empire, he attracted a lot of attention because of his appearance. When your father met your mother back then, I had also sent someone to investigate her identity, but I found nothing. Then, your father insisted on marrying her, and I didn't mind. After they got married, your mother came up to me and told me that she was an advanced shaman. However, he asked me to keep it a secret, and he secretly made potions for our family. "

After Wen Ya married into the Vermilion Bird Family, their supply of potions had overtaken the other four families. There were rumors that the Vermilion Bird Family had an advanced secret shaman. However, no one knew that it was the young lady in the house who had just entered the family.

"I'm sure your mother's family isn't that simple. However, they did not take action, even after his death. You are his daughter, and naturally you will inherit his talent. Maybe that's why you can't practice magic or battle aura. " Shen Feng grimly said, "Whatever happens, you must study diligently while you are at Saint Lauren Academy. It would be nice if you inherited your mother's talent. However, if it doesn't work, I'll think of another method to ensure your safety. "

Shen Yanxiao snorted. Shen Feng had done all he could for her. Every method he thought of was out of consideration for him.

"Alright, you should go back to your room first. Rest well during this period, and after a few days, I will ask Shen Siyu to help you familiarize yourself with our family matters. " Shen Feng patted Shen Yanxiao on the shoulder and sent the emotionally touched little girl on her way.

Chapter 80: I Don't Want to Be Beautiful to Destroy (1)

Shen Feng looked alone in his room. He took a deep breath and sat on the chair while his gaze looked behind the screen in the room.

"You know that Vermillion Bird would choose Xiaoxiao if she went to the Lava Valley. Is that why you insisted that I let him go with them as a candidate? " Shen Feng suddenly asked the seemingly empty room.

"It doesn't matter if I know or not. Now that you have welcomed the return of the Vermilion Bird and you have also managed to protect your granddaughter at the same time, isn't that great? " As a soft voice answered him, Shen Siyu in a light blue robe slowly walked out from behind the screen. His usual gentle demeanor was replaced with a cold gaze.

"You're right, that's good." Shen Feng nodded.

"Then that's enough. Tell your subordinates to make appropriate arrangements at Saint Laurent Academy. Before he graduates, don't let anyone other than the Vermilion Bird Family know about his information. " Shen Siyu looked at Shen Feng in an indifferent manner, far from the respect he used to show for Shen Feng.

Shen Feng looked towards a completely different Shen Siyu, but he seemed to be used to his cold demeanor.

It was not Shen Feng's impromptu decision to add Shen Yanxiao's name as Vermillion Bird's candidate. The choice was made at the urging of the young man.

"Are you afraid the other family will take action?"

Shen Siyu nodded and said, "Before he can protect himself, I won't let anyone hurt him."

"By the way, what do you think of the shaman's specialty?" Shen Yanxiao had returned to her room, and at that moment, she was sitting on a chair. He cared about Shen Feng's suggestion, and his actions also touched his heart. However, he did not yet have the intention to reveal his strength in magic and battle aura. His strength was still insufficient, and if he exposed himself too quickly, it would only give the enemy more time to plan for his defeat.

Vermilion Bird lay on the bed and he finally recovered his vitality after he rested. However, his extremely arrogant expression had also returned.

"Being a shaman is a pretty good option, but the question is whether you have enough energy to learn it." Xiu paid close attention to Shen Yanxiao's efforts to become stronger.

"There shouldn't be a problem. The main problem is to unseal. Everything else can be arranged. " Shen Yanxiao somewhat understood the situation. After the seal was opened, he would advance quickly like a rocket, so, he did not have to worry about the time he needed to practice magic and battle aura. On the contrary, the seemingly lucrative profession of shaman had aroused his interest.

"Then, try. However, ordinary shamans were useless. Only advanced shamans can maximize the benefits of that profession. " Xiu said after he seriously analyzed the situation for her.

"Hold it!" Vermilion Bird, who had been sleeping like a corpse on the bed, suddenly jumped to his feet. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and asked, "You mentioned the seal? What kind of seal? "

Shen Yanxiao looked at him and then rolled up her sleeves to reveal the Seven Star Moon Seal on her arms.

Seven Star Moon Seal? Vermilion Bird looked at Shen Yanxiao in shock.

"Young Miss, who would have offended you because they would go to great lengths to give you the Seven Star Moon Seal?"

Shen Yanxiao looked at Vermilion Bird in confusion. It seemed like he also knew about the seal.

You know about this seal?

Vermilion Bird snorted. "Clearly! I have lived for at least tens of thousands of years, and this Seven Star Moon Seal was discovered a thousand years ago during the war between the gods and demons. It was used to seal the powerful battle gods held captive on both sides. You are just an ordinary human, so why would anyone use such a powerful seal to suppress your strength? "
